Japanese Politics
This graduate seminar course provides an overview of modern and contemporary Japanese foreign policy and the strategy behind its engagement with the world. It examines the following questions: What are the key determinants of Japanese foreign policy, and how have they evolved over time? How should Japan approach, navigate, and shape the increasingly uncertain strategic environment in the Indo-Pacific in the years ahead, including China’s growing power, the shifting role of the U.S.-Japan alliance, and the intensifying great power rivalry? In the first few weeks of the course, we will cover the making of modern Japan and the enduring themes that have long animated Japan’s strategic thinking. In the following weeks, we will survey Japan’s foreign policies toward key countries and regions while discussing topics relevant to the respective relationships, such as security, trade, identity, historical memory, and values and norms. Each week, we will identify Japan’s ends, ways, and means in its approach to a particular region or issue and end our class by discussing current policy questions Japan faces.

Principles and Practice of Oncology II:
PRIN & PRACTICE OF ONCOLO
This course presents a systematic overview of the most common cancer diagnoses across the lifespan and associated prevention, screening, and early detection. The course presents genetic predispositions and mutations as well as familial syndromes that increase risk for a diagnosis of cancer. The course examines cancer diagnoses that appear in all age groups as well as cancers mostly specific to set age groups. It incorporates the pathophysiology of pediatric, adolescent, young adult, and adult cancers, current evidence-based treatment modalities and regimens for each cancer, and data from ongoing clinical trials about cutting-edge therapies being developed. The course provides a framework for the oncology nurse practitioner (NP) for synthesis, integration, and application of this knowledge for diagnosing, assessing, and managing patients with a cancer diagnosis in clinical practice.

Literature & Independent Publishing in L
Lit & Indp Publishing Lat
This course, focused on the phenomenon of independent publishing in Latin America, begins with a review of the history of these publishing houses on the continent, their relationship with the popular press, and the avant-garde movements (César Vallejo, Vicente Huidobro). It will also explore the experiments of the second half of the 20th century (Ulises Carrión, Mirtha Dermisache). With this background, we will study the phenomenon in the 21st century, from "cartonera" publishing houses to self-published publications and self-managed projects. Based on the concept of bibliodiversity, we will problematize writing practices and their circulation in unequal societies, with differential access to literacy, but in which literature remains a culturally relevant practice. We will study books by César Aira, Verónica Gerber-Bicecci, Giselle Beiguelman, Mario Bellatin, among others. We will also study the extensive reflection on the independent phenomenon through authors such as E. Schierloh, M. Rabasa, Ana Gallego, Hernán López-Winne, and many others.

BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY
Buddhist philosophers generally agree about what doesn’t exist: an enduring, unitary, and
independent self. But there is surprisingly little consensus across Buddhist traditions about what
does exist and what it’s like. In this course, we will examine several Buddhist theories about the
nature and structure of reality and consider the epistemological and ethical implications of these
radically different pictures of the world. We will analyze and evaluate arguments from some of
the most influential Indian Buddhist philosophers from the second to the eleventh centuries,
including Nāgārjuna, Vasubandhu, Dignāga, Candrakīrti, Śāntarakṣita, Śāntideva, and
Ratnakīrti. Topics will include the existence and nature of the external world, the mind, and the
self; practical and epistemological implications of the Buddhist no-self principle; personal
identity; the problem of other minds; and causal determinism and moral responsibility.

TEACHING WRITING:THEORY & PRAC
Prerequisites:
the instructor’s permission. (Seminar). This course aims to contribute to your professional development as a teacher of writing. While we will focus on how to help undergraduates write argument-driven essays, the materials we will read and the teaching practices we will explore are designed to support your development as a teacher of writing across disciplines and genres. By the end of this seminar, you will learn the goals and structure of writing courses, the principles that inform their design, and the kinds of materials used in such courses. Your successful completion of this course would reflect a baseline interest in, and understanding of
,
Writing Studies and its pedagogies, necessary preparation for any instructor in a writing program. You may take the course either for full seminar credit, which would require an extended final seminar paper, for an R credit (for doctoral candidates and MAO candidates, only), or for Pass/Fail (for MFA candidates, only). To apply: Please contact Dr. Nicole B. Wallack (
nw2108@columbia.edu
) with a short email in which you describe your previous experiences in teaching writing and/or studying writing pedagogy, your field study at Columbia, and what questions are of interest to you when you think about what it means to teach and learn writing at the college level.

Queer Theory
Recent scholarship in queer theory speaks of “bad education” and “ugly feelings,” “beautiful experiments” and “poor queer studies.” In this survey of mostly recent queer theoretical work we will read a range of texts that debate the use, the abuse and the uselessness of queer theory in an era of anti-intellectual policies aimed at both critical race theory and gender and sexuality studies. While Lee Edelman, in
Bad Education
, insists that queer theory has nothing to teach us, Paul Preciado in
Dysphoria Mundi
proposes that the whole world is ailing from a shared dysphoria. Meanwhile, at the intersections of Afro-Pessimism and queer theory, Calvin Warren proposes that to speak of Black trans identities is impossible given the negative ontologies that pertain to Black personhood. Working through oppositions between optimism and pessimism, utopia and dystopia, good and bad feelings, beauty and ugliness, we will ask: What constitutes the ethical in queer theory and how does queer theory approach the good, the bad and the beautiful? At stake here are questions about aesthetic experimentation and politics and unpredictable links between beauty and power, alternative subjects and domination, and bodies and language.

DOCUMENTARY ACTIVISM:THEORY
This is a course in how to think about documentary but not about “how to” make documentary work. Its premise is that documentary as an approach is still undergoing revision as a definitional problem. Relevant to our times, cameras and sound recorders are called upon to “witness” events. Basic readings on the history and theory of documentary are the heart of the course and practical exercises test theoretical questions. Students conduct low end exercises with their own smart phone cameras. Topics and issues center on the history of the radical documentary—from the Workers Film and Photo League of the 1930s to the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, comparing then new 16 and 35mm film camera capabilities with contemporary internet distribution. Other topics include climate change and documentary work; motion picture film and photography in labor struggles; uses of anti-war and nuclear bomb footage; sexualities and video camera activism.

Waves on Different Shores: France, Japan
In the early 1960s, a number of new film movements in national cinemas around the world. Inevitably called “new waves” or “new cinemas,” these movements, usually made up of young filmmakers, would challenge both the cinematic industrial structures in each of their respective nations, as well propose often radically different approaches to filmmaking and to cinematic storytelling. This course will explore three important examples of this development—the French New Wave, the Japanese New Wave and the Brazilian Cinema Novo—and detail both the commonalities among these movements (aesthetic, social, political) as well those factors which made each unique. A special concern will be the relationship of the “new waves” to simultaneous radical experiments in visual arts, theater, literature and music. The course will begin with a consideration of Roberto Rossellini’s VOYAGE TO ITALY, a watershed work between Neorealism and subsequent cinematic modernism, and will conclude with Andrei Tarkovsky’s MIRROR, described by Andras Balint Kóvacs as “the last modernist film.”
